Dr. Christina Jacob graduated from the University of Maryland/Sheppard Pratt Psychiatry Residency Training Program. During her training, she focused on treating patients with a variety of mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use, and schizophrenia. In addition, she completed a clinical training year as a dialectical behavioral therapist and continues to use these skills to provide individualized, effective treatment for each of her patients.
Dr. Jacob believes that medications do not always make up the main pillars of treatment and that robust treatment often tackles many different aspects of the patients’ life. She is eager to work with you to identify these points and collaborate with you in a shared decision-making model to help identify effective treatments.
In her free time, Dr. Jacob loves spending time with her family, finding new things to cook, playing video games, and rooting for her favorite sports teams.
